DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

FIG. 1 is a top view of the invention.

FIG. 2 is a side view of the invention.

FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the invention.

While one embodiment of my invention is illustrated in the abovereferred to drawings, it is understood that they are merely for thepurpose of illustration and that various changes in the construction,material used etc. may be resorted to in the course of manufacture inorder that the invention may be utilized to the best advantage of its'use without in any way departing from or deviating from the spirit andintention of the device for the purpose it has been designed for whichis limited only in accordance with the appended claims and while thereis stated the primary field of the utility and use of the invention, itremains obvious that it may be employed in any other capacity wherein itmight find use and be found applicable. In the accompanying drawings andin the following specifications, the same numerical reference charactersare used to designate the same parts and elements of the description ofthe toilet cap throughout. The toilet cap has of course, a top (1). Ithas a circular main body (2). It has a raised bottom which allows forroom for the standard size within the industry, fastening nut (3). Ithas a convex shaped aperture which curves inward and upward in acomplete circle which allows for one way penetration of toilet bolt andin the course of rotating the cap in a clockwise direction with bottomrim of cap pushing against bowl surface, convex shaped aperture has nochoice but to tighten up against toilet bolt and surface of toilet bowl(4) and (5). It has a hollow chamber which allows for entrance of topportion of toilet bolt and aids in the stability of the cap (6). Itshould be duly noted that this hollow chamber has an aperture to allowfor this entrance of course and that this hollow chamber is round, again(6). From the foregoing specifications it will become apparent that theinvention disclosed will adequately accomplish the tasks for which ithas been designed for and in an economic manner and that its'simplicity, accuracy and ease of operation are such as to provide arelatively inexpensive device considering all that it is able toaccomplish and that it will find an important place in the art to whichit pertains too when once placed on the market for use by the generalpublic and artisan it has been designed for. It is thought that personsskilled in the art for which this invention relates to, will be able toobtain a clear and concise understanding of the invention afterconsidering the description and specifications in relation to thedrawings therefore a more lengthy description is deemed unnecessary.Changes in shape, size and arrangement of details and of parts such ascome within the purview of the invention claimed may be resorted to inactual practice, if so desired.

1. A plastic toilet bowl cap that aids and facilitates in theinstallation of a toilet bowl and covers and protects the fasteninghardware thereof.
